Digital BW, The Print

I have been using R&D Specialty rods for 37 years - in color proofing. IDENTICOLOR proofs/rubdowns (from film sep line negs) have been produced this way since its inception. We use #11 rods i.e. (SWOP) rods to "drawdown" inks, lacquers and coatings. The number refers to the wire gauge> higher number equals thicker wire. I have never seen a #200 rod - as mentioned earlier. We coat our prints NOT by ROLLING the rod BUT by holding it firmly and pulling it down against the page using ACRYLIC (i.e. UV floor wax).
